Tough new anti-hoon laws pass parliament
Source: Victoria. Police Minister and Attorney-General. Media Release.
"Tougher laws to crack-down on hoon and drug driving and graffiti vandalism have passed through State Parliament and will shortly become law. The new legislation allows:
Police to immediately home-clamp OR impound an offender’s vehicle for up to seven days.
Police to apply to the courts to extend that period to 90 days. This is a concerted attempt to crack down on anti-social behaviour. The courts and police now have the power to deliver the penalties the public expect"
